Maupay, renowned for his ability to get under the skin of his opponents, has already kicked things off with a playful jab at James Maddison earlier this week. The Brentford striker took to social media to mock Maddison’s signature dart celebration after the Spurs star was left out of Gareth Southgate‘s final 26-man squad.

When asked if he had anything planned should England and France meet in the knockout rounds, Maupay jokingly replied, “I’ve got a few memes ready.” He added, “I’ve seen that we can face each other in the semi-finals.”
However, the striker also acknowledged the potential risks of his playful antics, saying, “I’ll have to be careful. I don’t want to be run down by 20 England fans!” He plans to wait until he’s back home to engage in any social media banter.
Maupay also shared his thoughts on another notable omission from the England squad, Jack Grealish. He understood Southgate’s decision, given the abundance of offensive talent available. “When I look at the England squad, there’s so many good players,” he said.

He continued, “It has to be 26 players in form. I don’t think Grealish is in his best form. There’s players like Cole Palmer, Phil Foden, and all of those forwards who’ve been scoring a lot.” Maupay acknowledged the difficulty in selecting a squad when there are so many talented players to choose from.

Maupay also expressed surprise at the inclusion of N’Golo Kante in the France squad, given the midfielder’s recent move to play club football in Saudi Arabia with Al-Ittihad. “I was surprised because he hasn’t been called up for a couple of years now,” Maupay said.
